Bruce is not Beck
Chaseter, I couldn't agree more.
Bruce having a major role in SM4 is the equivalent of him being a lab assistant, knocking over and spilling vials of enzymes and Lizard DNA, on the lab table, while no one is looking. Quickly wiping the spilled mixture into Connors coffee mug, and craftily, sneeking out the lab as if nothing happen. Connors drink from the mug, call it a day, goes home and fall asleep on the couch, toss & turn, turn into Lizard. And at the World Premire, Bruce reveal his major role was creating Spidey's new nemesis.... in a comedic way, once again.
